FElEEPRDOF AND WATERPROOF EAI'NT.

acacia lto Drawine To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES (Tor-1n llAnNns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mineral Wells, in the county of Palo Pinto and State of Texas, have invented a l. ircproof and Waterproof Paint, a new and useful composition of matter to be used for painting the roofs of houses or any kind of wood, tin, or iron that is exposed to the Weather and heat or cold, of which the following is a specification.

My composition consists of the following ingredients, combined in the proportions stated, viz: English resin 5 pounds, alum, pulverized, 5 pounds, graphlte 5 pounds, mineral red 10 pounds, hydrocarbon 5 galions, gloss oil 2 gallons, coal tar 40 gallons.

llhe above in redients in the above proportions are so cient to make one barrel of BT86 (3. fire proof and water proof paint.

The ingredients of the above composition,

the English resin, pulverized alum, graphite, mineral red, hydro carbon, and gloss oil, should be thoroughly mixed by stirring up together and should then be poured into the coal tar. In using the abovenamed com osition it should be thoroughly stirred be ore being used and should be ut on or used cold and should not be heated.

'The above composition can be used in cold weather the same as in hot weather.

The oil called gloss oilused in this composition of matter is the rosin oil, which is made by the distillation of rosin by itself, and the heavier fraction, or rosin oil, in the stricter sense of the word is the gloss oil used in this composition of matter.

The English resin usedin this composh tion of matter is the residue leftali' tcr the distillation of the oil of turpentine from crude olco-resin (turpentine) of various species of pious, and 1s the resin which is called on the continent of Europe, colophone, but with us is commonly and now olhcially known by the name of rosin, It is the rcsina of the United States and British pharmacopoiias and is sometimes called resiua llava or yellow rosin, and is used in this composition of matter because it is darker and cheaper than any other resin known.

Specification of Letters Patent.

. By using the above composition the pores of the Wood are filled. lihe English resin and gloss oil penetrate and fill the pores of the wood and cause the composition to dry quickly and hard, and the gloss oil gives the composition or paint a glossy finish and the gloss oil and English resin make the Wood or surface smooth as well. as glossy and the pores of the wood being thus hlled the Wood becomes water proof. The ulverized alum also saturates the pores oi the Wood and hardens the composition or paint and makes the wood practically fire proof. lhe hydro carbon cuts or paint down so it can be put on smoothly and evenly. The graphite, mineral red, and coal tar are merely bodies or fillers.

Exposure to heat or cold does not adect the composition and does not afiect wood or other material aiuted with the above composition and lihe above composition areserves the wood or other painted sur ace from water and the above composition not being atl'ected by heat or cold does not scale or crack and does not puddle when drying but dries smooth and even and saturates the Wood and the above composition does not become gummy or sticky but dries hard, and glossy and the above composition does not blister and Wood or any other material can at any time be repainted or recoatedv with the same composition, above set out, and will always have a smooth even glossy surface. i

I am not aware that there is any other Patented July so, laid.

Application filed Jilly 26, 1909. Serial No. 509,749.
